2.0 out of 5 stars Vibrating alarm lasts only 1 minute, February 20, 2008

This review is from: Sonic Alert SBP100 Sonic Boom Portable Vibrating Alarm Clock (Health and Beauty)

After reading all the reviews for this alarm, I figured that this would be the best thing for my 14 year old son. He has such a hard time waking up in the morning. We even tried holding one of those alarms that have the two bells on top that clank over his head and that did not wake him up. The first morning he used this alarm, he tossed a little and started to wake up but the vibrations stopped after only one minute. That definitely is not long enough to wake someone up. I contacted Sonic Alert and asked them about this and they said the vibration only lasts for one minute because the clock runs on batteries. I told the customer service agent that was not long enough to wake someone up and she suggested that I try one of the other models that run on electricity since the vibrations will go on until you actually get up and shut off the alarm. I am returning this one to Amazon and have ordered one of the other Sonic Alert models. I also made sure to get the extension cord for the vibrator so the alarm clock can be placed as far away from my son forcing him to get up out of bed to shut it off.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Product but not perfect, October 1, 2007

This review is from: Sonic Alert SBP100 Sonic Boom Portable Vibrating Alarm Clock (Health and Beauty)

It usually does the job of waking me without disturbing my wife though the vibrator is pretty noisy. The finish is hard plastic and when attached with the pillow clasp it can be a bit uncomfortable and noisy to keep bumping into in the night. The snooze is a very short 4 minutes. The controls are a bit clumsy to use in the dark and the screen has no backlight. To see the time in the dark, the screen must be raised (again a bit clumsy in the dark) and the overly bright light illuminates it from the front when the snooze/light button is pressed. All that said, I would still make the purchase again. It performs as advertised and I wouldn't want to be without it. It's the best travel alarm I've used.

1.0 out of 5 stars This would be great, if it wasn't a piece of garbage, November 28, 2006

A vibrating alarm clock is a pretty great thing, particularly if you have difficultly getting up in the morning. I also sleep with earplugs in because I'm such a light sleeper, and I needed an alternative to the loud audio alarms that I ended up just sleeping through (earplugs or not!). Anyway, I bought this clock because it seemed to have a powerful vibration, and I liked how the clock LCD lay flush and popped up so you could use it on your night stand, if you were so inclined. All seemingly great features, until I started using it. First of all, the backlight on the LCD is nothing more than a teeny green bulb that shines light on the screen. It's hard to see, sometimes impossible in the dark, which completely defeats the purpose. Secondly, while the vibrations are strong, and the snooze function great, the damn thing just STOPPED WORKING CONSISTANTLY after a few weeks of use, and has been heading steadily downhill since. A few times, it did not alarm, snooze stopped working (it would turn off and never come back on), and just this morning (after waking up LATE) I tested it out, and the vibration burped on and off a second later. Furthermore, the audible alarm (which I don't use) is not that loud at all. My 1980's digital alarm was louder than that thing. Absolute garbage. A sonic bust. I'm severely disappointed in this. Wasted my money, and now I'm shopping for another alarm clock. Oh, I also hear customer service sucks with this maker, so I don't know if it's worth it to fight for a refund. So if you're looking for an alarm... keep looking...
